A new record for the non-native flora of Tunisia, Eclipta prostrata (Asteraceae), and a note on the national status of Erigeron bonariensis, Symphyotrichum squamatum (Asteraceae), and Lepidium didymum (Brassicaceae)
A new record for the non-native flora of Tunisia, Eclipta prostrata (Asteraceae), and a note on the national status of Erigeron bonariensis, Symphyotrichum squamatum (Asteraceae), and Lepidium didymum (Brassicaceae)
Floristic and phytosociological surveys in NE-Tunisia allowed to discover Eclipta prostrata (Asteraceae) which represents the first record at national level. A description of the species, notes on its ecology and phytosociological remarks are provided. We also stated, for the first time in Tunisia, the status of naturalization of three species (Erigeron bonariensis, Symphyotrichum squamatum, and Lepidium didymum) which does not appear still published until now.
